The staff is very attentive and friendly. The cabin we had was clean and well equipped. Excellent quality fishing for walleye, though in our case, it was difficult to catch them during the day.

We came for a 1-week trip of sport fishing and exploring landscapes, and well, we were thrilled! Lots of fish, 7 different species and impressive hot spots that we would have never found without the help of Tristan, the authentic and super friendly local guide!! Thanks to him and to the whole team at lac Bryson for their kindness, their professionalism and their support throughout the stay. Special bonus for cabin #2 with a magnificent view for sunsets!

Very nice outfitter, very comfortable cabin and very well equipped. We were there mainly for walleye, unfortunately difficult fishing days despite spending many hours trying everything.. still caught some very nice specimens at 47-48-51 cm . An outfitter worth discovering, thanks to all the very welcoming team!!

The service is courteous and the site is very clean. You can see that the owners and their team respect nature. The lakes are healthy and the water is very clear in the main lake. There is a great quality of walleye in the lake. The cabin we stayed in was clean and rustic, everything we love. Thank you for this wonderful stay.

We loved our experience at lac Bryson and the fishing was very good. Our cottage was clean, set apart from the others and therefore very quiet. The service received was also excellent and hassle-free. Very easy to access and the surprise of reaching our cottage by boat was a wonderful surprise. I highly recommend.
